This is a sad yet in loving memory of song by the Spinners. the meaning of the song is about the death of his mother and how things were great back in the day and how his love for her continues on. the greatest line of all in this song was 'it's funny how no money can turn your life around". We all have our "sadie" in our lifes mother, grandmother,aunt,sister e.t.c please treat her right and find a way to tell her you love her before you experince the line in this song " its a mean world without you" because it hurts like hell!

  • This original version of "Sadie" is moving in the pictures it generates in the minds of men of all ages and their experience of the affection, confidence and guidance imparted them my the females within their environ. Simply love motivates and shapes...thank the lord.

  • Oh this brings back memories of my Mama (my grandmother) and Auntie, "It's a mean world without you!"

  • this is one of my brothers favorite songs, dedicated to our beloved Mother Helen.

  • This song says my first and middle name in it. ;D

  • this is ma favorite song by the spinners this is to my mother

  • to all the sweet mothers, in love you know you will always be winning.......teaching angels how to love........its a mean world without you, all the love you show....

  • Memories, memories, memories........

  • I couldn't listen to this song for 5 years after the passing of my mom (Alma Tyler), because it meant and said so much. I listen to this and gain great strength from it. My favorite line: "My, my, my, my, I love ya mama, I just can't forget how you gave me love"

  • My grandmother's name isn't Sade, it is Mrs. Rose Lee Robinson and this song was like it was written for her only. I believe that we all have grand parents that are memories when this song plays. God bless them all. Len

  • Everytime , i hear this it makes me want to cry , because i think of all my deceased grandparents , & the only one i knew for 5 years of my life . " Dan Dan " Marie Hall Robinson , i love you always <3 - Asya
